After listening to Bai Shicheng's words.

Everyone present immediately focused their attention on Zhao Lin.

Those who attended the poetry reading immediately recognized Zhao Lin.

"It's him, I remember!"

"He spent a whole incense stick of time and didn't write a single word!"

"He even spread rumors that he was from the Zhenbei Marquisate, but Miss Zhao San exposed him on the spot!"

"Not only can I not write poetry, I can't even recognize a few words!"

"How could such a person write a book like Jin Ping Mei?"

Many people whispered.

Fu Liqing was shocked.

She didn't expect that such a thing would happen.

Fu Liqing was delayed and did not attend the poetry reading, otherwise he would have recognized Zhao Lin long ago.

"Mr. Zhao, can you explain it?" Bai Shicheng looked at Zhao Lin and said.

Zhao Lin smiled faintly and said calmly, "Yes, that person is me."

Wow...

There was an uproar at the scene.

No one expected him to admit it.

Fu Liqing's face changed immediately.

Bai Shicheng immediately pressed the issue, "In more than two years, from being illiterate to writing a book like Jin Ping Mei, shouldn't Mr. Zhao give an explanation?"

"Explain? Who are you to deserve it?" Zhao Lin said disdainfully.

Fu Liqing's heart sank suddenly.

It doesn’t matter whether Jin Ping Mei was written by Zhao Lin or not. What matters is the attitude.

If so, explain it well.

No, it needs to be explained more clearly.

It is true that Bai Shicheng is just a juren, but his brother was the top scorer in the previous session and is now a Hanlin scholar. Who wouldn't give him some face for Bai Shiyuan's sake?

Isn’t Zhao Lin afraid that he will get angry when he says this to him?

Besides, even if Bai Shicheng didn’t get angry, others couldn’t help it.

really.

"A thief is so arrogant?"

"It seems that we are too good-tempered and have allowed a thief to run rampant."

"Where's the security guard? Beat him out."

Everyone around shouted.

It is not certain which people are jealous, which ones are trying to please Bai Shicheng, and which ones simply dislike Zhao Lin.

Hearing the shouting here, Zhao Mingxiao showed a gloating smile.

Humph, this lowly creature is not presentable. Do you really think that you can get into the upper class circle by fooling Fu Liqing?

Still a long way to go!

Bai Shicheng's face darkened. "So, Master Zhao doesn't want to explain anymore?"

"No!"

Contrary to Bai Shicheng's expectations, Zhao Lin denied it.

Zhao Lin glanced at Fu Liqing and said, "I really don't want to explain to you because you are not qualified. But for Miss Fu, I will give you this face."

He didn't explain because Zhao Lin really thought Bai Shicheng and the others were not qualified.

The explanation was that Zhao Lin was introduced by Fu Liqing and he had to give Fu Liqing face.

Bai Shicheng sneered and said, "Then let me hear Master Zhao's explanation."

Zhao Lin said loudly: "The reason is simple, knowing shame will lead to courage."

Everyone was stunned.

Fu Liqing's eyes lit up, and he said loudly, "What a courageous act of knowing shame. Everyone, does anyone have any objections?"

Zhao Lin's voice reached Zhao Mingxiao.

Zhao Mingxiao almost dropped the cup.

Be brave after knowing shame?

She had never seen this loser have any sense of shame. He kept getting close to others even though he knew they hated him.

No shame at all!

"I've only heard of this kind of person in stories before, but I didn't expect to see him in person." Miss Liu sighed again.

Zhao Mingxiao sneered, "Yuanyuan, you're too naive. You believe what he says? Who can prove it?"

Liu Yuan was stunned: "Yes. What should we do then?"

Zhao Mingxiao said, "That's easy. Didn't he fail to compose a poem last time? If he can, it will prove that he truly knows shame and then becomes braver."

Liu Yuan clapped her hands: "That's it. Go quickly and tell Mr. Bai."

The maid hurried to Bai Shicheng again and told him Zhao Mingxiao's idea.

Bai Shicheng had been stumped by Zhao Lin's words, not knowing what to say. But after hearing this, his eyes lit up and he spoke impatiently, "Mr. Zhao, empty words are not enough. Since you've learned from your shame and shown courage, how about composing a poem in front of everyone?"

Fu Liqing quickly said, "Mr. Zhao is not good at poetry..."

After all, more than two years is too short, and Fu Liqing is afraid that Zhao Lin will not be able to do it.

Bai Shicheng said, "You've already written such a great book, but you can't write poetry? What do you think?"

"That's right. We're all here to write poetry. What's the point of coming here if you can't write poetry?"

"Does Mr. Zhao look down on us?"

Someone said sarcastically.

Zhao Lin smiled slightly, and under Fu Liqing's worried gaze, he said, "Since Master Bai has spoken, how can I not obey? But it's boring for me to do it alone, so how about we all come together and let Miss Fu judge our performance?"

"good!"

These people are naturally not afraid of writing poetry.

Fu Liqing was not pretentious. Seeing the willow tree next to him, he said, "Let's write a poem on the theme of willow. There are no restrictions on the rhythm."

Everyone immediately began to ponder.

Zhao Lin smiled.

He happened to remember a poem about willows that was widely circulated in his previous life.

Zhao Lin leisurely picked up the teacup and poured himself a cup of tea.

Fu Liqing was secretly anxious when he saw this.

Many people gathered around after hearing the news.

“Got it!”

Bai Shicheng was the first to make it.

But when he saw Zhao Lin leisurely drinking tea, he said angrily: "It seems that Mr. Zhao has already made it."

Zhao Lin said, "Indeed."

"Then please let Mr. Zhao recite it first." Bai Shicheng said.

Most people hadn't figured it out yet, but now they woke up from their thoughts and looked at Zhao Lin.
